ROLLING COLTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 264,307, datedSeptember 12, 1,882.

Application led May 27. 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT KLoss, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Shabonier, in the county of Fayette and l State ot'Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in RollingColters, ot' which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in rolling colters.

rlhe object of my invention is to provide a rolling colter for plows,which shall be simple and cheap in construction, and so constructed andarranged that the working parts are completely inclosed, preventing dirtor weeds from getting in the bearings.

My invention consists in certain combinations of parts, as hereinafterset forth with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figurel is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, Fig. 3 a sectionalelevation, of my improved colter. Fig. 4 is a view of the cutterremoved.

Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout theseveral views.

In the said drawings, A represents the yoke or frame ot the colter,whic'nmay be made of any suitable shape and material, and secured to theplow in any appropriate manner.

B is the cutter, which is made ot steel in the ordinary manner, and isprovided at the cen-A ter with a square hole, a, in which is fitted ahuh, b. (See Fig. 3.) This hub I prefer to make ot hard Wood; but it maybe made ot' any suitable metal. It is made square in the middle, but isreduced at the ends, and projects into the disks O C', placed at eitherside of the cutter B. These disks U C are made of iron, and have abearing around their outer edge against the face of the cutter B.

D is a bolt, which passes through the sides c e ot' the yoke A,disks CandG and hub, and is provided at one end with a nut, c. The bolt D atthe part d is enlarged, and is screwthreaded and screws into the diskC', which has a projection, c', extending over the side e of the voke A,to prevent said disk from turn.- ing. When the bolt D passes through thehub b it is left plain, but is provided with threads at the otherreduced end, on which screws the disk C, and it projects through theother side,

0, of the yoke A and is supplied with the nut c. By loosening the 4nut cthe disk G may be turned in either direction on the bolt D, adjusting itto or from the cutter B, which may be in this manner kept at all timestrue, and by tightening the nut c the Whole is held tirmly together. Thehub b has a bearing-surface on the bolt D, and also in the disks C andC', and is not apt to wear, and being completely inclosed by the disk iskept free from dirt, and can be readily replaced when worn-out.

Having thusdescribed myinvention, whatI claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

In a rolling colter, the combination ot' the cutter B, having hub b,socketed disks O C', the latter having projection or lstop c', and boltD, having enlarged portion r1, and threaded portion provided with nut c,with the yoke or standard, substantially as shown and described.

lu testimony whereof l affix my signature in presence ot' two witnesses.

ROBERT KLOSS.
